I pre-paid some reloading supplies from a local dealer and he said it will be ready in a month. A month later, it was not ready. He said give me a week more. A week later, not ready. Not good! So, I cancelled the order with my credit card even though he doesn't allow cancellations of preorders. I figure I haven't received the merchandise, so no harm, no foul, right?
Wrong. I was banned for life from said retailer.
It's better just to hear from my fellow TX Chl forum members BEFORE making the purchase just to avoid being banned from any more retailers. There aren't many gun shops in Dallas.
Banned for life from a retailer? Sounds like it would be a welcomed level of service for both of us. There is nothing I can't get elsewhere or over the net. I ain't got time to be bullied around by a vendor. Brick and mortar places are already fighting for market share as it is. Now this one wants you to take all of the risk for their advice? Nah. Not for this cowboy, anyway. Maybe the Houston area just has a better average than DFW but we seem to have a fair number of good dealers looking to provide for their families (I don't begrudge profit margins) and share a good gun time with me. I would tolerate the situation you describe for about three nano seconds before bolting for the door. I find it hard to believe in a megalopolis the size of DFW that there aren't guns folks that would love to have your business and to be willing to communicate well with you.
